p.m.] STURRIDGE OFFERED TO ARSENAL ON LOAN

By Chris
Wheatley

The
26-year-old's representatives have approached the Emirates Stadium outfit over
a temporary move, but Liverpool have no interest in letting him leave

EXCLUSIVE

Daniel
Sturridge has been offered to Arsenal by his representatives on loan, but
Liverpool remain adamant that their frustrated striker is not going anywhere,
Goal understands.

The
26-year-old, a boyhood Arsenal fan, has cut a disappointed figure at Anfield in
recent weeks due to a lack of game time and Jurgen Klopp's failure to play him
in his preferred central position.

Gunners boss
Arsene Wenger is open to adding players to his squad if they are 'world class',
with Sturridge put in that bracket after scoring 13 goals in 25 games last
season, despite struggling with various fitness issues.

Yah, he's
staying at Southampton, that died out a bit earlier this week.

[31/08, 6:37
p.m.] THE BATTLE FOR SISSOKO

Here's Vinny
O'Connor to bring us up to date with that Moussa Sissokotwist - and it seems
there was quite a turn of events.

"Shortly
before 7pm Everton thought they'd agreed a fee with Newcastle and terms with
the player himself. But I'm hearing they then couldn't get hold of the player
for a couple of hours - and that he didn't pick up Ronald Koeman's call.

"The
medical room was set up, the contracts were drawn up. Then, they heard from
Sissoko's representatives that he didn't want to join them. Major
disappointment for Everton - but there's also the feeling they might have had a
lucky escape"

[31/08, 6:38
p.m.] SUNDERLAND NOT DONE YET

Sunderland are
not yet done for the day despite bringing in two new faces, according to Keith
Downie on Sky Sports News HQ.

"Sunderland
have completed their second signing of the day, this one for Jason
Denayer," said Downie. "He arrived at the Academy of Light around an
hour ago to finish off the paperwork and complete that deal after they agreed
personal terms with him and the deal with Manchester City.

"He
becomes their second signing of the day after Didi Ndong. But the day started
with Sunderland looking for four, they are not finished yet. Sunderland could
yet still add in the dying embers of this transfer window... so watch this
space."

Chelsea winger
Juan Cuadrado has joined Juventus on a three-year loan deal until 2019, the
Italian club have confirmed.

Cuadrado, who
spent last year on loan in Turin, will now spend the next three seasons in
Italy on a contract heavily based on incentives.

The loan deal
involves a fee of €5m (£4.2m) and includes the option to purchase Cuadrado
permanently for €25m (£21.2) should certain appearances and results be met
during the loan period of three years.

Lars Veldwijk
has left Nottingham Forest for Belgian side KV Kortrijk on a permanent deal.

The Dutch
striker played 14 times in the 2014/15 season before spending last term on loan
at Zwolle.

[31/08, 7:00
p.m.] POYET CONTRACT TERMINATED

West Ham and
Diego Poyet have mutually agreed to terminate the midfielder's contract.

The 21-year-old
departs the Hammers having made 10 appearances in all competitions in his two
years in east London.

midfielder's contract ￼http://wes.hm/Poyet310816

[31/08, 7:04
p.m.] Luiz to Chelsea is a good move. Had a poor world cup, but overall a good
player and really strngthens our backline. Maybe without him we can finally
beat PSG.....whenever we play Champs league again...

[31/08, 7:05
p.m.] Here’s that confirmation. Sissoko’s phone wasn’t working earlier, when
Ronald Koeman was trying to get in touch to welcome him to Everton, but now
he’s tweeting like billyo.

[31/08, 7:07
p.m.] The transfer window has shut

We eagerly
awaited confirmation of several moves - notably Sissoko to Spurs -, and perhaps
even some late surprises.

Everton have
consoled themselves by borrowing Enner Valencia from West Ham.
